    Default single guy with a cat

    do you think it is weird for a single guy to have a cat and only a cat (no dogs etc)? the other day one of my friends was trying to convince me it was, and two others agreed with her. i dont think it is strange...

    she listed this as a dealbreaker for dating a guy. i think that is a bit extreme.
    The best thing i have heard in a strip club to date:
    customer: we should get married right now! we should get a shotgun marriage!
    me: uhh... i think you are misunderstanding what a shotgun marriage means. A shotgun marriage means you knock me up and my daddy shows up at your door with a gun and forces you to marry me and raise the baby. You mean elope.
    customer: hmm... nah actually i will take the shotgun marriage. At least then we would be having sex.

    No i think it's kind of cute. Probably a good sign he is willing to take care of a selfish, vain creature that only accepts his attention when it feels like it and demands cuddles at other times.

    Hah that made me remember, I met a guy - single, great job, his own car tha was quite new, and just bought a house on his own. He had a cat, the cat was awesome. The guy was obsessed with the cat, and went crazy and possive of me only after 1 date... So 1 single guy with 1 cat, is crazy to me now.

    It wouldnt be a dealbreaker for me though - but the fact the he went crazy on me = dealbreaker.

    I grew up with cats & would have one but I work so much & I'm never home. I never heard of such a thing as a cat being a deal breaker? Strange... If you hangout with him, now he will be a guy with a cat & a girl...not so bad. I also think you could get some insite of him on how he takes care of the cat & how clean he is.

    oh im not specifically interested in a guy with a cat. it was just a conversation that i thought was strange and happened to be thinking of while browsing sw.

    i think a guy having a cat is one of the worst dealbreakers ive ever heard. unless you have severe cat allergies.

    I think your friends are stupid. It's just an animal. Unless they have a fear of cats, why would they not want to date a guy with a cat? Cats are mostly self-sufficient. They don't require walks and being let outside every time they need to relieve themselves. They also generally don't tear up your shit just because you left them alone all day, or make vicious, loud, obnoxious noises every time they look out the window and see something moving... Some people prefer or need low maintenance pets. What's wrong with that?

    A girl saying she wouldn't date a guy with a cat is as dumb as a guy saying he wouldn't date a girl with a dog because dogs are "guy pets." I mean, really?
    Don't try to win over the haters. You are not the Jerk Whisperer.

    Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

    it's not dealbreaker for me, but it's a little unusual to me. I have one really cute, single guy friend who has a cat he enjoys. I don't really think about. But if I met a prospective fellow and he was one of those crazy cat people who constantly dotes on their cat etc... that would be weird for me.

    I don't think it's weird at all. In fact I tend to date animal lovers over men without animals.

    Definitely a deal breaker. I hate cats, and I also happen to be extremely allergic (hives and everything).

    But besides that, it is weird to me at least.

    He owns a cat. He's clearly a serial killer who doesn't wash his hands. Check his mattress, I bet the tags are ripped off, too!

    I vote not weird. I think it's kind of endearing. Since I love all animals (and cats in particular) I wouldn't be interested in someone who doesn't like animals.

    "Good cat dad" is actually a quality I look for in a man. I love cats and dogs, and I am a little unsettled by people who dislike pets. If a man has a cat (or a dog) and takes good care of it, I find that very attractive. There's something about a big strong man snuggling with a fluffy little kitty that makes my heart hurt, in a good way.

    Not owning a cat alone is not a deal-breaker, but when it is along with other too sensitive man issues. Also, I love cats and have owned many amazing cats(in heaven now) I have a little dog now that enjoys chasing cats and I don't want to worry about not being able to have my dog sleep with me at night. It might sound weird but we are all are entitled to make our own dating criteria, it doesn't need to matter to anyone but yourself with what you want or find attractive in a potential partner. I like neurotic people I find them interesting

    I love my persian cats but most the men I've dated hated cats until they met my persians, their more like a dog ad they like affection and come when you call them. I don't really like regular cats and I think maybe a lot of girls think guys who have cats are sensitive or feminine. I did think it was cute when my ex and I broke up and he would call to talk to my persian on the phone, she actually would hear his voice and come over and tap me with my paw until I held the phone to her ear and she would rub her face on the phone and listen so intently it was cute. sadly she died a 2 years ago but I'm kinda on the fence about it. I'm not sure I'd date a guy with a cat weird I know since I've had them my whole life.

    Ask the cat. I don't think the cat will agree that it is owned at all. The cat will likely state that it is a room mate or just couch surfing.

    I get along with a man that has a cat and only a cat. First the guy is able to be around another being without it needing his attention. When I think of a cat I think it's the closest to being an independent woman. It doesn't require attention but it will enjoy your company. It's one of those unique creatures that is not afraid to ignore your ass. I love them! If a man can deal with a cat's attitude then he's a great match for most women. Cat's have way too much personality. A dog on the other hand is completely dependent on it's owner. A cat makes you feel like " you don't own me! , I'm here because I decided to be.". I love dogs too don't get me wrong. But a man with a cat? It's so sexy!! I've had guys show me their cats on cam and it's instant love for the guy. He just goes up in my book. Cats are independent animals and for a man to be fine with an independent animal moving around in his home says volumes. I've been with guy that hated cats and we didn't get along. I also don't get along with men that don't have any pets. They come off selfish. I'm just going off of my experiences.

    single guy with any pet = animal lover = total catch IMO... your friend is a retard. A guy who loves animals automatically has a soul and one who loves cats (typically a feminine pet) probably is a sensitive guy which I think is awesome. Why the fuck are women not attracted to "good" guys. Not weird at all.
